Daughter from Danang: American Experience(2002) NR
This is a very touching documentary and is entirely appropriate for students in middle or high school. It should spark a lively debate over what the daughter should or should not do and why. Below is a description of the movie from Netflix:
This documentary follows an adopted American woman -- one of thousands of Vietnamese children who were separated from their families and flown to America in 1975 -- who gets more than she bargained for when she's reunited with her birth mother. The film emphasizes how much culture, rather than innate physical characteristics, can shape an individual. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival.
